Here’s recent progress on the studio/laundry-room project. All the wood panelling and ceiling tiles have been removed, revealing the dilapidated plaster beneath.

Project: Crackhouse – The Studio

Major renovation work began today on an upstairs room of “The Crackhouse.” Pictured below is its state as of yesterday. Already completed when the picture was taken are: the removal of several layers of floor-coverings (plywood, linoleum, more linoleum, even more linoleum), dismantling of the kitchen area on the far wall, roughing in of plumbing for future laundry room.

The end result of this renovation will be a transformation of this area into a combination studio/project area, with a laundry room at the other end (not visible in this picture).

Project: Adodo -update

I just heard from one of the editors of Adodo and here’re the cartoonists, besides me, who have contributed for the first issue:

“James Kochalka, Peter Kuper, Carrie McNinch, Derf, Ivan Brunetti, Paul Hornscheneimer, William Schaff and, perhaps Hideshi Hino and Igort ”

Pretty cool lineup I think…

Wired News: Fight for the Right to Watch Trek

Look: I’m a big “Star Trek” fan. I own a stuffed tribble…and I still have a phaser that I painstakingly made as a child in my grandfather’s woodshop–based on a scale drawing of one from “The Star Trek Technical Manual” no less. But, fer crying out loud, would it really be a huge tragedy if we had a few years without a Star Trek show in production? Particularly if the show that would get the axe is “Enterprise,” which was impressively even worse than “Deep Space Nine?”
